An elegant choice for evenings out, the black Saint Laurent Cassandre Chain Wallet brings refined polish to cocktail parties, dinners and gallery openings. Compact yet striking, it keeps essentials close as the iconic YSL monogram elevates any look from desk to dinner.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What are the measurements and how does the strap wear on the body? A: This piece measures approximately 22.5 × 15 × 3.5 cm with a strap drop of about 50 cm. On most heights it sits at hip level when worn crossbody and at the upper hip when worn on the shoulder. Please refer to the measurements on this page to gauge your preferred carry.
Q: What typically fits inside the Cassandre Chain Wallet? A: It comfortably holds a large smartphone, cards (using the built‑in slots), folded notes, a slim key fob, lipstick and a slim compact. Bulky items such as a full‑size wallet, water bottle or thick pouches will be a tight fit. Capacity varies by how you pack—use the listed measurements for best guidance.
Q: Is the chain strap detachable and can it be worn different ways? A: Yes. The chain is detachable, so you can wear it crossbody or on the shoulder, or remove the chain to carry it as a clutch. Some users also tuck the chain inside for a cleaner look when carrying by hand.
Q: What is the closure and interior layout like? A: It features a flap with a snap/press‑stud closure. Inside, there is a zip pocket for valuables and multiple card slots, making it easy to organise essentials without a bulky wallet. Exact slot configurations can vary by season; please check our photos for this item’s layout.
Q: Will it fit an iPhone Pro Max or similar large phone? A: Yes, most large smartphones (including iPhone Pro Max‑sized devices) will fit, though using the built‑in card slots helps maximise space for other small essentials.
Q: What leather is this and how durable is it for daily use? A: It is crafted from Saint Laurent’s grain de poudre (embossed, grained calfskin). This leather is known for its structured feel and abrasion resistance compared with smoother leathers, making it well‑suited to frequent wear. As with all leather, avoid overstuffing and rough contact to keep edges and corners looking their best.
Q: How should I care for and store the bag? A: Wipe the exterior occasionally with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh cleaners, oils and prolonged contact with dark fabrics that may transfer colour. Keep it away from excessive moisture and heat. When not in use, store it lightly filled in its dust bag to help maintain the shape and quilting.
Q: Is the chain adjustable or can it be doubled? A: The chain is a fixed length; it is not adjustable. You can shorten the carry drop by looping the chain under the flap before closing, but be gentle and avoid overloading the bag to protect the closure and leather.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information for this listing: box, dust bag and brand booklets are included with this piece.
Q: Is this item authentic and what is its condition? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware. This bag is pre‑owned in very good condition with light signs of use on the exterior and interior, and hardware that is shiny with light scratches—please review the photos and condition notes for full details.
